Aweber: A newsletter and email list manager that I have used successfully for years. I’ve tried several, and always come back to Aweber.

Market SamuraiAn extremely thorough keyword research tool I use for serious, in-depth keyword research. This one really is a must for any internet marketer that will be implementing an SEO plan. Not only for SEO, but I also use this to get an understanding of what my demographic is searching for and what they really want.

PR Reach: Years ago, when I was starting out, I would send out press releases in the hopes of gaining traffic. Well, it worked- I was picked up on national morning shows, talk shows, radio, news channels… I went from a few thousand readers, to millions practically overnight. I still recommend using traditional media to pursue traffic and now I LOVE PR Reach- they are next-gen press release distribution and an absolute MUST!

BlueHost – Great host with competitive hosting packages and GREAT WordPress support.

I also love Brain Host. Excellent hosting features and customer support is top notch.

For those who need their own server, I love Wired Tree for their above and beyond tech savvy staff and stellar customer support.
